## Summary

The UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD is conducting a public procurement process for "Laboratory Services for the Department of Oncology and Metabolism," with a contract value of £500,000. The procurement is classified under laboratory services and research laboratory services, falling within the services category. The tender period concluded on 1st June 2017, with a contract start date of 1st September 2017, extending until 28th February 2019. This tender was initiated through an open procurement method, allowing various suppliers to compete for the contract.

This opportunity creates significant avenues for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in synthetic organic chemistry and drug discovery. Companies that can demonstrate a strong track record in chemistry, efficient communication, and problem-solving capabilities are particularly well-suited to participate. The procurement aims to find teams capable of both synthesising compounds and contributing to compound design, highlighting the need for innovative and collaborative approaches within the industry.

## Notice

We are seeking a tender for a team of synthetic organic chemists to deliver small-molecule antagonists designed by the existing team of medicinal chemists. The team will have a demonstrable track record of achievement in drug discovery and include accomplished chemistry problem solvers and will have the ability to design and develop its own synthetic routes. Timely, thorough and efficient communication will be essential. To provide us with an alternative strategy, we would also like to consider a tender for a team of medicinal chemists to contribute to compound design in addition to synthesising compounds for testing. (Further details are available within the ITT document) Additional information: All tender documents must be obtained from the In-tend site shown above.
